Chapter 179: Death is short
Chu Wanxiang said: "We are mother and daughter, what kind of hard work are we talking about? The queen mother is hungry, right? Let's eat."
Chu Wanrong nodded: "I'm hungry."
The green pothos led the two grandmothers, brought the food box, and brought the soup, pastries, dishes and snacks to the table.
Chu Wanxiang helped Chu Wanrong lean on the head of the bed and fed her with her own hands.
After Chu Wanrong finished eating a bowl of porridge, she couldn't eat it.
"Queen Mother, let's eat another piece of osmanthus sugar cake."
"Don't eat, I'm full."
"That's good." Chu Wanxiang said, "Have you drunk the medicine? Do you want to call the Imperial Doctor?"
"I've drunk it." Chu Wanrong said, "Just drink a dose of medicine, it's not in the way."
"Then the queen mother should rest well, and I will come to see you tomorrow." Chu Wanxiang said.
Chu Wanrong nodded, "Hmm."
Leaving Fengqi Palace, Chu Wanxiang returned to the dormitory, bathed and freshened up, and changed his clothes before lying down.
After lying down for a while, Chu Wanxiang couldn't fall asleep over and over. Thinking of Emperor Chu Zhao talking to her today, he was inexplicably irritable. She picked up the handkerchief next to the pillow, carefully rubbed the picture of the mandarin duck playing in the water embroidered on the handkerchief, and was suddenly stunned. Emperor Chu Zhao said that she was his queen, and she was the queen......
The words lingered in her ears like a spell.
Chu Wanxiang gritted her teeth and grinded her silver teeth, eager to tear it to pieces.
"!" Pothos pushes the door in.
Chu Wanxiang was startled, then calmed down and asked calmly, "What's the matter?"
"Your Majesty asked you to come over." Pothos said.
"What are you going to do?"
Pothos shook her head: "Your Majesty didn't say it."
Chu Wanxiang got up to change clothes.
The pothos waited for Chu Wanxiang to change into a plain white skirt embroidered with hibiscus flowers, and put on a fox fur cover. Chu Wanxiang took the green pothos out of Fengqi Palace and took a sedan chair in the direction of Zhengqian Palace.
After walking half a cup of tea, Chu Wanxiang came to Zhengqian Palace.
Chu Wanxiang got off the sedan chair and walked straight into the Zhengqian Palace. The Zhengqian Palace was empty, except for the palace people around her.
The palace maid led Chu Wanxiang to the Zhengde Hall where Chu Mohan lived, and Chu Wanxiang asked, "Where has Your Majesty gone?"
The palace maid bowed her head respectfully: "Back to Niangniang, Your Majesty went to Jingtai Palace."
Jingtai Palace?
It was the Queen Mother's dormitory. Chu Wanxiang secretly said badly, her face changed, and then she covered up the past. There was a queen mother living in Jingtai Palace, Chu Wanxiang didn't dare to slack off, and immediately took Luluo and others to Jingtai Palace.
Chu Mohan had just walked into the main hall of Jingtai Palace, when he heard the footsteps and turned around, he recognized Chu Wanxiang at a glance, and his face suddenly condensed.
He was still wearing the dark robe he wore last night, his black hair was scattered on his shoulders like a waterfall, and his handsome face was as cold as frost. He stood on the steps, staring at Chu Wanxiang with his eyes like torches, his eyes bursting with anger.
Chu Wanxiang stopped three steps away from him and blessed himself: "The concubine pays a visit to Your Majesty."
"You still know that I am Your Majesty!" Chu Mohan asked sharply.
Chu Wanxiang lowered her eyes with a weak heart: "The concubine is guilty."
Chu Mohan laughed angrily: "What crime have you committed?"
"Concubine...... The concubine has offended Your Majesty, and she deserves death."
"Since you are convicted, why don't you go to the temple of repentance and kneel all night?"
Chu Wanxiang pursed her lips and said, "The concubine is willing to kneel all night."
Chu Mohan's anger was even worse, and he pointed to the door: "Get out! Get out of here!"
Chu Wanxiang curtsied and silently withdrew from the Zhengde Palace.
The green pothos hurriedly chased Chu Wanxiang out of the Zhengde Palace, Chu Wanxiang did not stop, and left without saying a word. Lu Luo was not at ease, and quietly returned, seeing that Chu Wanxiang did not return to the palace, but walked straight out of the palace.
"Mother, where are you going?" Green Pothos hurriedly said, "The slave and the maid will follow you, and the slave and the maid will protect you."
Chu Wanxiang said lightly: "I'll do something by myself, you don't have to accompany me."
Green pothos said anxiously: "Niangniang, your body has just healed, so you shouldn't run around."
「
I didn't run around." Chu Wanxiang said, "You don't have to worry."
"!"
"I'm not in danger." Chu Wanxiang said, and the light skill disappeared.
Chu Wanxiang came to the Marquis of Chu's mansion.
The guards recognized Chu Wanxiang, did not stop her, and let her in.
Chu Wanxiang went straight to the Chu family's mansion and came to a courtyard gate, but was blocked by the guards: "Who are you looking for?"
Chu Wanxiang glanced around and said in a deep voice, "Please report it, just say that Chu Wanxiang wants to see the eldest lady."
The guard hesitated, "Chu Wanxiang? Are you sure you're Chu Wanxiang?"
"Exactly." Chu Wanxiang said, "As soon as I was tired, I said that I had something urgent to discuss with the eldest lady."
Chu Wanxiang said and handed over a piece of jade pendant: "Please pass it on your behalf, this jade pendant can prove my identity."
The guards were suspicious, accepted Chu Wanxiang's jade pendant, and rushed in to tell him. After a while, he came back and said, "Please wait, the eldest lady will come over immediately."
Chu Wanxiang nodded, and while waiting, she looked around and saw that the Marquis Mansion of Chu was heavily guarded, and the security was extremely tight, even more strict than before. It seems that Emperor Chu Zhao is determined to find out about this matter, and he is bound to solve this matter completely, and he will never allow Chu Wanxiang to escape responsibility.
After waiting for a long time, she finally heard a sound of footsteps, Chu Wanxiang looked up and saw a young girl wearing a pink brocade jacket walking over, about twenty-eight years old, with a delicate and beautiful appearance, a slender and delicate posture, and a gentle and weak look.
Chu Wanxiang guessed that she was Chu Mohan's biological mother, Qin, bowed her head slightly, and saluted.
"Who is this lady, why haven't you seen it before?" Qin looked at Chu Wanxiang, revealing some doubts. Although she is over 30 years old, she is still well-maintained and charming, and she can vaguely see the original posture of the city.
Chu Wanxiang smiled: "My name is Chu Wanxiang."
"You're the sick seed?" Qin asked in surprise, "Why did you get better all of a sudden?"
Chu Wanxiang's heart tightened, but her face smiled lightly: "The doctor said that I will die soon, and I will be much better after taking medicine."
"Really?" Qin Shi shook Chu Wanxiang's hand in surprise, excited, "Hurry up, follow me."
Chu Wanxiang could see that the Qin family was sincerely happy for her, and her heart swelled with sourness.
She was carried into the house, and Qin instructed the maid to prepare hot water and serve her to wash with her own hands. After taking a bath, Qin helped her to bed to rest, and advised, "You are not in good health, stop blowing the cool breeze, and go to sleep quickly."
Chu Wanxiang nodded and closed her eyes.
After a stick of incense or so, a maid knocked on the door, saying that the doctor was coming. Chu Wanxiang opened her eyes and looked at the Qin family: "The doctor is here, Niangniang quickly ask the doctor to check my pulse."
The Qin family replied, "Please", and asked the maids to invite the doctor in. The doctor, an old man in his fifties, with white hair and strong spirits, looked at Chu Wanxiang and said, "Madame has been eating irregularly recently, and she is overly worried, which has led to stagnation of qi and blood, and needs to be recuperated."
"The doctor prescribes some medicine to calm my nerves and replenish my qi." Qin said.
"Yes, but you have to stay on bed rest and don't get tired." The doctor took a pen and wrote a medicine list and handed it to Qin, and then began acupuncture for Chu Wanxiang.
Chu Wanxiang felt a faint pain in her chest and abdomen, and couldn't help but snort.
